* Manage a team (~10) with diverse skills including engineering, modeling, ML infrastructure, of senior and junior SWEs, foster an inclusive culture for sustained team growth, and hiring world-class talents.
* Collaborate with Platform/Infra partners to optimize the team's key pipelines (e.g., data, training, evaluation, onboard) for high performance, efficiency, and reliability.
* Develop the execution strategies that balance short-term and long-term priorities. Drive process and clarify R&Rs for cross-organizational alignments.
You Have:
* BS/MS in Computer Science, Machine Learning or related disciplines
* 10+ years of experience in computer vision and deep learning production systems in the autonomous driving vehicle space.
